Yesterday Karitane school went up
to Macraes, the bus went languidly along the road.
It took one hour.
But time flew so quickly.
First race was year ones.
My sister came first place. I was excited and proud of her.
Next race was year twos. The third race was year threes
and fours. I came first. I liked the run most of all
because I like running more than swimming and biking.
Last race was year five and sixes, and also big Louis won
and came first place.
After we had a sausage sizzle then we travelled back.
We watched a slide show of the triathlon and we got ICE BLOCKS!

Duathlon
On Friday we were supposed to go to the Macraes triathlon but it ended out we had to stay at school so we had to do the duathlon which is two sports to participate in. They were bike and run. I had to be the official photographer - it was fun until poor Kutlo fell off his bike but he got up and tried again. It was hard to take photos because everybody wanted a photo. In the year 1 race at the start Ella fell over but did not cry - just got up again. Maybe she was last but she just kept going. I think Ella and Kutlo should of come first. Liam came first, I don't know who came second. By Dylan - blogger of the week.

Art
We have looked at a creation myth from Japan and created some card prints from the story. We used layers of card and other found objects to create texture. We used layers to create depth in our compositions. We also put more detail in the foreground and less in the background to help create a sense of space.

The Indian in the Cupboard
We have finished the 'Wind in the Willows' and now we are reading 'The Indian in the Cupboard' by Lynne Reid Banks as our read aloud. We are about half way through and are absolutely enthralled by the goings-on of Omri, Patrick, Little Bull and Boone. We just can't wait to see what will happen next. This week, Mrs P read us a good description of Little Bull and then we drew him from our imaginations. Some people then shrank their drawings so that he was the actual size in the book - 7 cm!
Here are some of the ways we think of Little Bull...
